What would happen if one of those adorable Crites from the Critters franchise made its way onto an airplane? Well, that looks to essentially be the premise behind the upcoming monster movie Monster on a Plane, which has unleashed its official trailer this week.

An Official Selection of the 42nd Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (Bifff), Monster on a Plane will premiere later this month. Watch the trailer below for a sneak peek.

In the film from writer/director Ezra Tsegaye, “Professor Singh embarks on a journey to bring a mysterious creature from a distant land to Germany. However, when unexpected turbulence strikes the airplane, the beast awakens and starts attacking passengers. Stewardess Nathalie and teacher Ben team up to regain control amidst the chaos. But as they also uncover a ruthless murderer among the passengers, things quickly spiral out of control.”
